Rosario: Herencia Maldita

The premise of this could have turned into something really cool and mildly terrifying if they had done it properly. But they did not. I wish that I had not chosen to forgo a couple hours of reading a really good book that I'm in to go watch this because it was a waste of time. The character was not appropriately scared for anything that was going on in this movie. She didn't even scream when gross rotting demons were in her face. She kept touching a dead body and desecrating a corpse. Like.. it was just bad. There could have been so much potential for some good jumpscares, for some really intense scenes with these rotting corpse demon things. There was no intensity in the music, there was no intensity in the acting, and the storyline just didn't make sense most of the time. She finds this back room where her grandmother is practicing some voodoo witchcraft stuff and she has no idea what's going on. She googles it and suddenly she knows how to break whatever curse she thinks she has and she's upstairs doing these incantations and voodoo stuff and reading out of a book that's in Spanish when she doesn't even know spanish. It was just a hot mess from start to finish. She keeps talking to her grandmother's corpse like her grandmother is alive and they're having a snarky chat. It was just so odd. I think the one bright spot in the movie was Joe. I can't remember the actor's name off the top of my head, he was in Late Night With the Devil. But he did a good job with what he was given. Would not recommend going to see this in the theater, maybe streaming, but even then that would be a stretch.

Honestly wish I had something better to say about this film but I thought this movie was very ridiculous and not well made in any way. The pacing of this film is all over the place, it doesn't have an understanding of where it is trying to go and there is no real story to this film. This movie just jumps to each scene with a single actress who talks to her self and tries to solve a mystery alone. The only thing this film has to stand on is how ridiculous of a film it is that you could just sit there and laugh at how ridiculous some of these scenes are. This film really tried to be a cultural piece but couldn't have done a worse job with the execution.

This film started out well enough.

But then things just start to happen and there isn't any REAL explanation why, and at the very end, the earlier events become even more mysterious not making sense at all.

This movie was made to tick boxes for the modern era, but was just a waste of a movie.

The plot twist really doesn't matter and doesn't do anything to keep you drawn in, and I'm not really sure why its rated R. 15 would have been good enough.

The Grandma from the current period had the best acting. Along with the neighbour that decided to become a hero absolutely NO reason. But to be fair, his ultimate combo was pretty neat.

Ultimately this film was made to tick boxes. You get a bit of everything including "border crossing" .... To be honest, I wish I could scrub my brain of this memory.

Looks like it had a decent budget looking at the camera shots and set.

I want to say its complete trash, but it does have a certain charm about it.

Also some of the main characters Hollywood style B movie lines are terrible.

I am a huge fan of horror movies. I always have good faith somebody will be able to write something like "The Sixth Sense" again. Not that I expected this movie to be something close but it is so crappy I can't even raise it to "frustrating level", it is worse. The story starts OK but then soon you realize it is gonna be another nonsense type of terror, so bad some teens left the movie theater earlier than me. I was willing to finish it but for the sake of my good taste for horror movies, I had to leave like 30 mins before it was supposed to be end. Any movie with Freddy or Jason beats this one by far, just so you know how lame this is. Me. M. Night or anybody in the industry should go for a sequel on The Sixth Sense. It had "unfinished businesses" that could make a sequel possible without harming the first one. Come on, it is time. Horror movie fans of the world unite that! Let's pray for better movies, this one was below the frustration curve. I can write something better, give a couple of days.

This film really drags man. That's about the summary of this entire feature, it's a film tackling a very tired and cliche realm of horror, whilst also a film that's throwing some cultural patronage - which it doesn't fail at, however when it comes to most horror aspects, it falls flat. This film offers some little eye openers here and there, nothing spectacular, moreorless predictable circumstances you'll see from miles away. Some poorly timed jumpscares, bad audio and extremely predictable scenarios sprinkled among a plot that drags, this wasn't the worst thing I've ever seen, but if you're gonna take time to see it in theaters like I did, congratulations. You've got great patience. Some people will appreciate this film, but at the very least, it tried - it's extremely basic in every regard all in all.
